I'm looking forward to it and think it will be a good move for the event, the level of service at i55 compared to previous events with Ricoh was poor to the point it felt like they had given up on hosting the event properly.

Well looking at the Ramada Encore NEC for the winter insomnia, bearing in mind it's near christmas, staying for 3 nights would be £306 and it looks really good.If you're looking at booking a year in advance, which i doubt you would want to do anyway, there are some B&B's on the NEC website for £150 for the 3 days and one offers free travel if you've arranged it beforehand.

Just throwing it in there, they will have indoor camping at i56. So if you want to look about grabbing an indoor camping spot early, it should be much cheaper. Though the venue is going to be much bigger, so i'm not sure how many slots they'll be allocating. Honestly I find sleeping on site much more preferable than offsite at a hotel, but then i'm someone that would actually sleep in their car more than anything.

(Though a big thank you to Trell/Screweh for allowing me to stay in their hotel room at i55)

Things can only get better after the Ricoh Arena. It was ok but felt like it could have been so much better at the same time. So it will be interesting to see how people feel about the even for winter and spring lan.

Just to say that the 2016 dates have not been officially released yet, so i would advise caution booking any none refundable accommodation etc for next year - people who bought none refundable hotels for november in coventry are now a bit pissed off it moved!

This is my sandvich. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My sandvich is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my sandvich is useless. Without my sandvich, I am useless. I must eat my sandvich true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before lunch I swear this creed: my sandvich and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but sandvich. Om nom.
